IKEA furniture is rather practical, has a timeless style and comparatively affordable. The problem is that it is basically 100% recognisable as such. For those who don't want there home to look like something out of the Ikea-catalogue, you need to be a little bit inventive. Just like Chris Heider. Chris managed to build a nice big family bed out of kitchen furniture from the Sweden company. And in addition, there is even storage space! Here are a few pictures from his creation, step-by-step:

Chris Heider and his family don't have a lot of space in their apartment. And their pockets are not over-flowing with cash. Therefore they wanted to find a cheap solution to their sleeping arrangement that would also provide some storage. Said - done!

At the beginning of every project, there's a plan. That way Chris new exactly what he needed to buy from Ikea. Up all he needed 7 cupboards in different sizes. Included the additional material, it costed around 480 dollars (ca. 435 Euro).

This huge laying area just screams for group cuddles, right? After reading a good-night-story to the kiddies, you can even just stay there and fall asleep together. And in the cupboards under the bed there's enough space for all your things. Brilliant!

Share this great craft-idea as motivation to all your friends. Everyone would love to have such a cool area to lounge around in.
